# GMT animations all start with designing plots that are created using the
# PostScript language.  It is therefore vector graphics with no limitations
# imposed by pixel resolutions.  However, to make an animation we must render
# these PostScript plots into raster images (we use PNG) and a pixel resolution
# enters.  Unlike printed media (laserwriters), the dots-per-unit in an animation
# is much lower, and compromizes are made when vector graphics must be turned
# into pixels.  GMT's movie module (and psconvert for still images) offers the
# option of sub-pixeling.  It means the image is temporarily enlarged to have
# more pixels than requested, then shrunk back down.  These steps tend to make
# the lower-resolution images better than the raw rendering.  Here we show
# the effect of different sub-pixel settings - notice how the movies with
# little or no sub-pixeling "jitters" as time goes by.
# The resulting movie was presented at the Fall 2019 AGU meeting in an eLighting talk:
# P. Wessel, 2019, GMT science animations for the masses, Abstract IN21B-11.
# The finished movie is available in our YouTube channel as well:
# https://youtu.be/FLzYVo7wXAg
# The movie took ~2 minutes to render on a 24-core MacPro 2013.
